My compulsion

I have a compulsion: When my brain is idle, ie I'm just looking out of my head, I often start to count letters in words. I try to divide words into two equally long parts since I was about 13 years old. For exemple, exxe-mple. x counts for two. LLev-ente. MMatéé-riauxx. fils*d-e*pute. TThe*for*c-e*awwakens. Sometimes I do entire sentences. The rules are many and wildly complicated for spaces, accents and the *signs (fillers for odd character counts).

I actually rather prefer to have my room ordered and my light bulb changed. I am sometimes pretty pissed off by the lazy SLAVE who refuses to do whatever I ask him. I mean I get him social status, I feed him, I get him to cool places, I get him dates, for God's sake! My SLAVE should be way more obedient to me. He depends on me not ME on him. My fragile, lazy, addicted, subcortical slave shall serve M...
